cistec Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Can any body give me the details on the pickup heights for ES 135 both Bridge & Neck point me in a direction where there are youtube videos "HOW TO" or any other sites which walk you through the process. Cheers guys Cistec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 There's no factory spec if that's what you mean. There's some conventional wisdom but it's mostly player preference. I set my neck pickup about as high as it will go without the low E slapping it on a windmill strum (a c*nthair lower than the 22nd fret), then I raise/lower the bridge pickup to match the volume when I switch between the 2. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Rayba Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I read somewhere that there was a "factory spec" or at least a standard setting that most repairmen went by. I read, and have adjusted my pickup height on my Gibsons (ES 330, ES 335, ES 335) at the following: While holding the 1st and 6th string at the last fret, the distrance from the bottom of the string to the Neck Pick Up should be 3/32", the distance from the Bridge Pick Up should be 1/6"! Here is a link to the Gibson page where it is posted: http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/Tone%20Tips_%20Pickup%20Heights/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
